- the caller 142 may be allowed up to three attempts to enter the correct pass code. If the pass code is not correct (“no” branch from decision act 432 ), the method can determine if less than three attempts for the correct pass code has occurred, at decision act 442 . If yes, the method can include notifying the caller that an incorrect pass code was received, at block 448 . The method can include requesting the pass code, receiving the pass code, and determining if the pass code is correct.

- the account-status module can use account status information to make the determination. If the caller's account in on restricted status, the account-status module can generate an action object identifier, a result identifier, and a reason identifier that reflects the restricted status.
- the action object identifier can include “AO: Account_Status,” the results identifier can include “Result: Success,” and the reason identifier can include “Reason: Restricted,” at block 544 .
- the information can be used by the routing module 1280 to route the call, and optionally route any or all of the information associated with the call to a restricted module, at block 546 .
- the restricted module will be described in more detail with respect to FIG. 6 .
- the account status may not be able to be determined by the account-status module.
- the call may require the attendant 144 to determine the account status of the caller.
- the account-status module can generate an action object identifier, a result identifier, and a reason identifier that reflects an indeterminate account status.
- the action object identifier can include “AO: Account_Status”
- the results identifier can include “Result: Fail”
- the reason identifier can include “Reason: Account_Status99,” at 564 .
- the information can be used by the routing module 1280 to route the call, and optionally route any or all of the information associated with the call, to the attendant interaction module 1240 , at block 566 .
- the caller's account may be on restricted status.
- the entity operating the call service center 100 may need to limit what the caller 164 purchases or can otherwise limit actions of the caller at the call service center 100 .
- the call and optionally any or all of the associated information can be routed to the restricted module from the account-status module, at item 602 in FIG. 6 .
- Account status information associated with the caller's account may be transmitted from the data processing system 120 to the phone 162 for the caller's use.
- the transmission can include information, such as credit limit, account balance, estimated fees or costs, any other account information, or any combination thereof.
- the transmission can also include providing the caller 164 one or more options regarding the call.
- Block 622 includes one non-limiting example of information that may be transmitted from the data processing system 120 to the phone 162 .
- the method can include determining whether the caller 164 desires to stay on the line, at decision act 642 in FIG. 6 . If not, the caller 164 can terminate the call. If the caller 164 desires to stay on the line, the data processing system 120 can receive a user input signal corresponding to the caller 164 desiring to stay on the line.
- the restricted module can generate an action object identifier, a result identifier, and a reason identifier that reflects the restricted status.
- the action object identifier can include “AO: Restricted,” the results identifier can include “Result: Success,” and the reason identifier can include “Restricted_Continue,” at block 464 .
- the method can further include setting an account status indicator to restricted, at block 645 .
- the account status indicator may be used to reduce the likelihood that the caller 164 will exceed the caller's credit limit, and in another embodiment, may allow an attendant (e.g., an account representative) to override the credit limit, if desired, later during the call.
- the method can also include providing action options to the caller 164 , at block 646 , receiving an action selection from the phone 162 , at block 647 , and route the call to be selected module associated with the selected action, at block 648 .
- the method may be interrupted at potentially nearly any time because the caller 164 made a wrong selection, the attendant 144 may determine that the caller 164 appears to be lost, the controller 1220 may determine that the call has been in a module too long or is causing an infinite loop to be performed by a module, or for another reason. Therefore, an interrupt signal may be generated by the phone 162 , the attendant terminal 142 , or the data processing system 120 . The interrupt signal can be used to at least temporarily stop processing in order for another action to be taken.
- the caller 164 may determine that he or she desires to have an attendant 144 service the call.
- the phone 162 can generate an interrupt signal that is received by the controller 1220 of the data processing system 120 .
- the controller 1220 can then transmit one or more signals to any one or more modules within the data processing system 120 .
- the controller 1220 can instruct the routing module to route the call, and optionally communicate an action object identifier, a result identifier, and a reason identifier with the routed call to the attendant interaction module 1240 .
- the attendant interaction module 1240 can transmit a notice to the attendant terminal 142 for the attendant 144 to service the call.
- the attendant terminal 142 can then transmit one or more signals to the attendant interaction module 1240 that can generate an attendant interaction signal.
- the attendant interaction signal can be transmitted to the disposition module 1260 , which in turn, can generate a disposition signal that can be transmitted to the routing module 1280 .
- the call and optionally the action object identifier, the result identifier, and the reason identifier, can be passed from one module to another module.
- the modules within the data processing system 120 , or the attendant 144 in the attendant terminal 142 may quickly analyze status information regarding the call without having to access a log file or otherwise retrieve data from storage. By not having to analyze data within a log file or retrieving information from storage, handling of the call at the call service center 100 may be done more quickly and efficiently.
- an action object identifier, a result identifier, a reason identifier, or any combination thereof is generated or used to route a call
- information can be stored within a log file.
- the log file can be used by the attendant analyzing call data to improve or otherwise change a configuration of the call service center, or for another reason.
- the use of the action object identifier, the result identifier, and the reason identifier by a call routing system can allow for more accurate routing of a call within a call service center.
- the likelihood of inaccurate routing or unnecessary human intervention by an attendant can be significantly reduced.
- Retrieving a log file or information from a database is not needed in order to use the call routing system as described. Therefore, more accurate automated routing with less human intervention can be achieved with a call routing system.
- the call routing system may be used in a wide variety of call service centers.
- the call service center 100 may be used by manufacturers, retailers, distributors, telephone service providers, airlines, etc. or other businesses that support a customer call center.
- the call center 100 can include a speech-enabled, self-service call routing system or call service center for performing one or more transactions or obtaining information from the entity that controls the call service center 100 .
